Ruthie and Vincent talk on the phone. Vincent says his parents thought he was getting "too serious" with Ruthie because he was always talking about her, or to her, or going out with her. Oh, please. Why would he say that he didn't think his relationship with Ruthie was "going anywhere" if that's how he really felt? And why is Ruthie allowed to talk on the phone? I demand to see punishment! Ruthie snaps that Vincent can get right over her, as she is grounded for a month and can't see anyone, thanks to him. Vincent offers to ground himself for a month, and then they can go out again! "What about Margo?" says Ruthie. Vincent says he told her he never wanted to see her again. Ruthie smiles evilly.
